This is one of my favourite streets to walk along on the way back home. Many tourist like this street ,it tells you more about real Kashgar life than any other city streets, there are many backsmiths' ,and hourse shoes makers', it has a strong flavour of middle ages, it is hard to imagine the mardern life when you are observing these architectures, local tour guides take you there for sure!
This area is named "Palace frontgate" , there is no sign of any palace though, but its elevated position gives you a feeling of palace forturess.
This place is one of the famous tourist attractions in the town, I guess it appears in "The Kite Runner" ,
I always think that looks like the "Eternia" in Heman. ha ha ...
